DALLAS, TX – October 19, 2007 -- NewMarket Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: NMKT) announced today that their regional subsidiary, RKM IT Solutions (RKM), has reported that their Microsoft license sales for the third quarter of 2007 have achieved 83% of all the sales reported in the trailing 4 quarters. Microsoft Venezuela, S.A.'s fiscal year ends June 30 and the RKM Microsoft license sales for Microsoft Venezuela's first quarter 2008 have already achieved 83% of all similar license sales achieved in the Microsoft fiscal year 2007. RKM attributes this significant increase in sales primarily to three main customers, which are Molina Agencia de Viajes, a major travel agency, Consorcio Promoting, and Accroven, a natural gas company.
RKM was recently selected by Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) as a Large Account Reseller and Enterprise Software Advisor (LAR/ESA) for Venezuela.
